20120135215 | ZEOLITE MEMBRANE AND METHODS OF MAKING THE SAME - A free-standing zeolite membrane and a zeolite membrane supported on a support structure are disclosed. The free-standing zeolite membrane is fabricated by mixing zeolite particles and an optional inorganic binder, forming a green body, and sintering the green body at a sufficiently low temperature so as to prevent damage to the gas selectivity properties of the zeolite particles. The supported composite zeolite membrane is fabricated by mixing a sacrificial binder, an optional inorganic binder, boehmite sol and zeolite particles to form a slurry. The slurry is then coated onto a porous support structure, dried and sintered at a sufficiently low temperature so as to prevent damage to the gas selective properties of the zeolite particles. In both membranes, the zeolite particles span the entire thickness of the membrane to provide a high selectivity path for the flow of gas to pass therethrough. | 05-31-2012 |

The method includes the step of combining (i) a mineral zeolite material; (ii) at least one cement precursor; and (iii) an organic binder, with an aqueous component, to form an aqueous composite zeolite composition. The zeolite composition is then applied on a surface of a scaffold formed from a porous, metal oxide material. The zeolite composition is dried, and then heated under conditions to form a metal oxide-zeolite composite layer. This layer is exposed to a phosphate composition, under conditions sufficient to reduce the porosity to a level no greater than about 10%. A high-density zeolite cement composite membrane structure results. Related methods for separating hydrogen from a fluid stream, using the membrane structure, are also disclosed. | 01-24-2013 |
